Chapter 750 Seafood
The young monk gave a salute to Su You: "Monk Yitian from the lower country comes to see Master Shaobao. The young monk has admired Shaobao's deeds for a long time."
Zhang San smiled and said: "Yitian is similar to the young master. He has been enlightened since he was a child, and he is good at reading. He has been practicing arts for a while, and he looks like an adult. The Korean people like him very much, and you must be able to talk to him."
Could it be that this person also traveled through time? Su You quickly saluted: "Korea is known as Little China, and I have always wanted to meet its elites. I welcome you to come to the Song Dynasty."
Jin Ti quickly waved his hand: "You can't welcome me, I can't welcome you."
Su Youzhen was a little angry: "Ambassador Jin, what are you doing?"
Jin Ti's forehead was sweating, and he said with a mournful face: "Sengtong is the son of your Majesty and Queen Renrui. He aspired to be born in the world at the age of eleven. Your Majesty praised his ambition and ordered the King of Goryeo to give him his blessing and order him to follow him.
He left Lingtong Temple and worked for the benefit of the country."
"Four years later, he was granted the title of Guangzhi and founded the sect of Hongzhen Blessing the World Sangha."
Damn, it turns out this kid is a prince! Su You was surprised: "He is a prince of your noble kingdom and a religious leader, so why do you say he is not welcome in the Song Dynasty?"
Jin Ti felt that he was about to be tricked to death: "The great monk did not get the king's order for this trip. He, he came here secretly in the envoy ship! The minister, the minister has now written the report, let's hurry up.
The ship returns to Goryeo and awaits the king's disposal..."
After speaking, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed: "Mr. Da Su is really my teacher, and he has also sent me poems and essays; Zhang Taiju is also a close friend of my subordinates; Xiao Su Shaobao's reputation as a wise man has spread far and wide to Korea. As long as you say a word, the king will definitely not hold me accountable for my negligence."
Shaobao, for the sake of Mr. Da, you have to save me... Taiju! Taiju, please speak to me..."
Zhang San said with a smile: "Young Master, Ambassador Jin's first visit to the Song Dynasty was when he came to Hangzhou on my ship. At that time, Mr. Da was still a general judge, and what he said was true."
Su You then helped Jin Ti up: "Your Majesty is kind and wise, so he won't blame you too much. However, it is not in line with etiquette to sneak into the court without the king's order. Monk Tong, why did you do this?"
"
Yitian is only nineteen years old now. He is a beautiful monk with outstanding talents. He proclaimed the Buddha's name: "The state master's illness has become increasingly serious in the past two years. Yitian has been responsible for Huayan teachings, studying scriptures and propagating Dharma on his own. He often feels that the meaning is not clear and the understanding is not clear.
. Therefore, I want to come to China to study the Huayan Sutra, and when I return, I will spread the Dharma to benefit living beings and liberate the people."
"Yitian asked my father many times before, but my father always refused because of his noble status and dangerous winds. So this time, I secretly disguised myself as a sailor and boarded Ambassador Jin's ship."
Su You sighed and said: "I'm so busy that I haven't even set foot in Hangzhou... But don't worry, Dasu is in Hangzhou and there are countless monk friends. It should be easy to fulfill your wish..."
Jin Ti quickly coughed aside.
Su You smiled and said: "But this matter is indeed inconsistent with etiquette. I don't think it is worse than this - the small county of Changguo is not enough to receive the prince of Goryeo. When I have nothing to do here, I will ask the great monk to go to Hangzhou with me to find a hotel." How about staying in a temple?”
"Communicate with eminent monks in your free time. It will be convenient for you as monks to live together."
Yitian Heshishili: "As long as you can seek the Buddha's teachings, you can go anywhere in Yitian."
Su You said: "But when you arrive in Hangzhou and find a good temple, you are not allowed to leave the temple. When your father's credentials come, we can decide the next step based on his opinions, okay?"
Yitian finally showed a smile: "Everything will follow Shaobao's arrangements."
Su You turned to look at the pitiful Jin Ti again: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will write a letter to explain the matter to the leader of your country. The master's tireless pursuit of the meaning of the scriptures is touching and shows that he is noble. The prosperity of Chinese culture and education.”
"Educating the people with literature and virtue is the same thing in Song Dynasty and Goryeo. So the rest are just minor details. The kings of both countries are wise and wise, so they shouldn't be blamed too much."
Jin Ti thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you so much, Shaobao, thank you so much, Shaobao."
Su You thought for a while: "I even think that this matter can be used as an opportunity to strengthen cultural exchanges between the two countries."
"The Huayan Sect's theory of the ten sects and six phases was actually of great help to my Neo-Confucianism. After the Huichang Fa Disaster, all Buddhist scriptures and treatises were destroyed, and all sects declined for a while."
"It was not until the Song Dynasty that the eminent monk Zixuan revived Huayan. His disciple Jingyuan advocated it, and Huayan economics has now become popular in the Song, Liao, Xixia, Japan, and Goryeo countries."
"Master Jingyuan is at Xiangfu Temple in Hangzhou now. How about you, Sengtong, place orders there?"
Yitian was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, Shaobao. I am grateful to have the guidance of Master Jingyuan."
Su You smiled and said: "Then let's all sit down together. It's no surprise that you have friends coming from far away. You are a distinguished guest thousands of miles away!"
Nowadays, it is common for monks to eat meat and drink alcohol. They can roast pigs to entertain guests, but they don’t just have a Buddha seal.
There is a monk Huiming in Xiangguo Temple who is "good at cooking, especially roasted pork. A meal weighs five kilograms."
I've tried it at Su You, and it tastes really good.
Because before Su You's castrated pigs were popularized, only suckling pigs were the most delicious pork, so Huiming still used suckling pigs.
It's cruel, but, um, it smells so good.
Huiming's roasted pig is still very famous, and Daolong doesn't care about him. His yard is even called "Roasted Pig Yard".
Huimingduo is not the only one of the strange things in Daxiangguo Temple. There is also a man named Chenghui who actually married a prostitute. Whenever he got drunk, he would proudly declare: "The Tathagata is romantic and happy, and his glory is unprecedented."
The Fulang disciples called his wife "Sister-in-law of the Brahma" and refused to see her, so they simply posted a note on his door at night - "A temple for two people to fly together".
There is also a large temple in Kaifeng called Yuchi Temple. The emperor's relatives often visited this temple and had prostitutes and drinks with the monks in the side hall. The abbot did not blame them.
What's even more funny is that in Guangnan, the monks made a lot of money by lending money and doing business, controlling the business and financial industry, and countless girls flocked to them.
Therefore, it was common for monks to marry and have children. Therefore, some people specially wrote poems to make fun of this place: "I have traveled to the four hundred states in the world, but only this place is the most romantic. At night, I have a new banquet with candles and flowers, and I win the prince without having his head wrapped."
So the Great Song Dynasty Certificate is expensive, and it makes sense that it is expensive. This is not a religious identity certificate, it is an industrial access certificate!
The Huayan Sect was quite strict in keeping the rules, but now the Song Dynasty itself has not yet reached the point of keeping the rules and keeping order, let alone foreign monks.
On Tuesday, he got the true inheritance of Sichuan cuisine from his father, and traveled around the world on Zhang San's ship. Quechao Jiuzhan became the executive chef of the Long family, and the dishes he created shocked Long Jicai. : "These, these dishes, are produced in my kitchen?"
Tuesday looked ashamed: "Young master, don't be offended. The materials were not available at the moment, and things are not going well..."
Su You looked at the plate of freshly cut fish and felt itchy: "Peony fish, this skill is good. Come on, come on, let's do it!"
Five kilograms of steamed red Jiaqi fish; there is also a four-finger-wide large hairtail, which comes in three flavors: pan-fried, braised, and plum juice; swimming crab, now called three-tuberculous white crab, comes in salt-baked and stir-fried versions.
Spicy rice oil; there is also a large basket of steamed shells and mantis shrimps and other seafood chowder, plus fragrant fish fillets, squid stewed in chicken soup, roasted duck with kelp, fried kingfish in salt and pepper, mixed jellyfish, steamed oysters with garlic...
Not only Su You felt that he was enjoying the meal, but even locals such as Long Jicai and Wang Dejia had never tasted such a rich and delicious way.
Long Jicai raised his hands and said, "Shaobao, are these the practices of Sichuan?"
ps: "Ye Qingmei's Story of Dark Night Dawn" has been serialized today. From now on, Lao Zhou can also claim to be himself. We are also people who have played dual-player games at the starting point, hahahaha... This story is a small prequel,
I put a lot of thought into it and also tried another style.
It has more than 20,000 words, so I won’t waste much of your time. I hope that friends who like Lao Zhou will go and support it.
Chapter completed!
